Identifying how you want to live is the starting point for designing a home. We begin by understanding your priorities and studying the opportunities your site presents. Whether we develop a fully custom design or adapt a starting point from our Design Library, the goal is to create a home that responds to both your lifestyle and its setting.
Designing for your site
A site visit gives us the opportunity to experience the property firsthand, deepening our understanding of its character and potential. We study the site’s topography, surrounding buildings, views, solar orientation, and relevant regulatory requirements, including setbacks and building-height limits. These observations come together in a 3D digital model, which creates a shared foundation for exploring how your home can respond to the land and make the most of what you value about it.
We also work with you to develop a program for the home, identifying the spaces you need and how you want to use them, both now and in the future.
What if I don’t yet own land?
If you’re considering several properties or haven’t found the right one, we can begin by discussing your goals. Factors such as zoning, easements, flood risk, and geological conditions can significantly affect what is possible on a property. Understanding these considerations before you buy can help you make a more informed decision.
“It wasn’t about having a home that was placed on the property. It was about having it coexist with and be a part of nature. The team did a beautiful job. Their vision for and understanding of how a property turns into a residence is really precious.” – Bob B., Aspen, CO
